I do remember a gradual turn against The Rock by 2001 by the IWC. HHH was detested, he had casual heat and bad IWC heat. By the time the IWC developed crowds were less rebellious and the WWF generally had more say in who was legit heel/face, as opposed to 97-98 where rowdy crowds would choose who to root for. By the time the TAE ended I was genuinely sick of both Rock and HHH, they were over exposed in 2000 IMO.

Steiner was smark favourite, his WCW antics near the end were hilarious.
